Replying to: atlantabenny (Aug 28, 2005 2:11 pm) I agree the fuel savings isnt much of a factor since it would only be about $200 per year for most drivers. The lower cost of the 4 was definitly its appeal, but may spring for the 6 after doing all this research. The belt vs. chain thing doesn't concern me, it's more the 1,200 difference between the selling price of the cars. Plus belts are usually quieter, so it's worth the $700 after 100k. All about trade offs I suppose.

Replying to: arawamis (Aug 25, 2005 7:56 am) Did you know that the FCC is consdiering letting cell phones operate all the time on airplanes. A study recently released publically aknoledges that there is no interference cause on the palne controls by cell phones. If you think about it, how could there be there are on completely separate frequesncy spectrums. The probloem with allowing cell phones on the palnes is how to handle cell zone handoffs. The current cell pone technology minimally works travelling in a car at highway speed, let alone an airplane travelling over 500 mph. I personally don't think cell phones should be used by the driver of cars. Cell phones do cause a problem by distracting the cell phone user. This is probably the real reason for the ban in Eupre and other countries, not electrical and telecommunications interference. Motor On, MidCow |

Replying to: atlantabenny (Aug 28, 2005 2:11 pm) I think my '04 Accord EX-L 4 with A/T has plenty of power for quick moves across intersections or to merge onto freeways. The 5 speed automatic makes excellent use of the 4's power IMO. My advice is for buyers to drive both 4 and V6 cars because the 4 should be more than adequate for most drivers under typical driving conditions........Richard |

It's an automatic; a complete stop makes the tranny engage 1st for stand-still takeoff is what I meant.

kourmei, Honda looks like it's out to capture new customers in 06. This link shows the LX-V6 with moonroof and alloys as standard indeed. http://automobiles.honda.com/models/specifications_descriptions.asp?ModelName=Accord+Sedan- - - - &Category=LX+V%2D6 |

I've had Honda Accords for as long as I've had my driver's license and have only just started having this problem within the last several months. I currently drive a 98 Accord, and after a night of heavy rain, the car will not start. I've heard from a neighbor that there is a problem with moisture getting into the ignition (or something like that), and usually after a few hours the car will start fine. This time, I've not been able to get her started for nearly 2 days now........ The car sounds like it's going to start, but never turns over. Does anyone else have this problem?

Replying to: rbevz67 (Aug 28, 2005 2:48 pm) Agree. While generally assumed to be longer lasting than belts, chains can and do break, too. And if that happens, the flailing pieces show no mercy to nearby parts they contact. Chain tensioners on overhead cam engines seem to require periodic service just about as often as belt tensioners, so there's often service of some sort required between 80,000 to 100,000 miles, regardless, even if the chain is still intact and healthy. Belts are really not that poor a compromise. |

Replying to: mrs27 (Aug 30, 2005 5:59 am) Actually it is turning over. It just never quite "catches" and runs until whatever's wet dries out. I must confess I no longer drive an Accord, but your problem is a car problem, not an Accord problem. The usual suspects are ignition system components - distributor cap (if present on '98 Accords)*, spark plug cables and boots, and ignition coil(s). Your dealer or mechanic shouldn't have much trouble tracking the problem down. My late wife had a VW "bug" when we first met - the stupid car did exactly the same thing you described until I replaced the cracked distributor cap. (probably the main reason she married me) *A cracked distributor cap can be a very effective engine disabler when moisture is present. Just a few drops of water in the wrong place, and you walk.
